Kernel panic - not syncing: No Init Found Try passing init=
Trying to do a full install to a 512 meg flash drive in an HP Thin Client.
I have been over and over this but still keep getting this error on boot
Kernel panic - not syncing: No Init Found. Try passing init= option to kernel

It runs fine from a USB flash drive. So I know it will run on this machine. I just want it to run from the internal SSD like a "normal" Linux installation.cthisbear wrote:That can happen.
Try it on another computer.
I have a 16 gig usb...testing on a Dell Studio XPS.
Some pups it likes...some it hates.
And welcome to Puppy.
Sometimes >> try another usb port...front rear etc.

Actually all I see is a Boot directory that contains Grub and these files in the rootrcrsn51 wrote:First, do you know for sure that you've got a full install on the SSD? Do you see a lot of folders like /bin and /lib?
Are you using syslinux/extlinux or GRUB as the bootloader? If it's syslinux, post the syslinux.cfg file. If it's GRUB, post the menu.lst file.
boot.msg
extlinux.conf
help2.msg
help.msg
initrd.gz
ldlinix.sys
logo.16
lupu_528.sfs
vmlinuz
I used the puppy universial installer

You just have a frugal install, so your GRUB menu is wrong. Read here.
You need a GRUB entry like

I have tried Internal IDE/SATA Flash drive and Internal (IDE or SATA) hard drive
Both of the then allow me to select sda ATA 512MB ATA FLa, Size 488.7MiB
Then I select Install Puppy to sda1
After the next screens about partitioning and the final okay
I get to one where it askes for the Puppy files and explains that Puppy consists of only four files
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
lupu_528.sfs
zl528332.sfs
This I take is the Frugal install there is no option to do a full install

Those files would be on the usbflash drive if that is what you
are booting with.
The frugal or full choice comes shortly after that.
